Bardline Slatted Fence in Lyon

Project Context

Completed in 2026 in Lyon, this project was commissioned by a landscaper to enhance and protect a residential garden. The program combined privacy, visual continuity, and compatibility with a demanding mineral and plant arrangement. The objectives focused on a durable fence with a controlled aesthetic on both sides and a vertical rhythm that could accompany structured flowerbeds.

Implemented Solution

The choice was made for the Bardline fence from Redcinha®, a co-extruded composite wood with a slatted effect. This solution offers double-sided boards installed vertically for an identical appearance on both sides, supported by aluminum posts.

Key characteristics utilized:

• Board dimensions: 187.2 x 19.5 mm
• Board length: 1295 mm (with 1600 mm option upon request)
• Controlled expansion: 2 mm/m
• UV treatment, weather resistance, 10-year warranty
• Aluminum accessories ensuring continuity and rigidity

Two shades were chosen according to the zones, in line with the mineral and plant landscape: a charcoal gray for a sober and contemporary look, and a light oak with black grooves for a warmer tone. The system was assembled according to Redcinha® recommendations: post-board connection profile and finishing profiles ensure the hold, flatness, and cleanliness of visible edges.

This technical choice met several professional expectations:

• Relevant double-sided symmetry for a property boundary
• Vertical rhythm enhancing alignments and perspectives of the garden
• Minimal maintenance and dimensional stability over time

Implementation and Results

Installation was carried out in regular spans, with a constant gap and a perfectly aligned high top. Cuts are clean and protected with matching caps. The base integrates into a stable mineral support, ensuring the alignment of the bottom of the panel along its entire length.

Three configurations follow to meet the usages and the terrain reading:

• Charcoal Sequence: closely spaced vertical boards with a discreet slatted effect run alongside a mass of light gravel planted with small conifers, lavenders, and graphic plants. The contrast highlights the sobriety of the panels and the precision of the alignments.
• Light Oak Sequence with Black Grooves: warm-toned spans interact with aligned shrubs on beige mineral mulch. The contrast of the grooves emphasizes verticality and creates a more inviting atmosphere.
• Variation with Visible Aluminum Posts: the alternating posts and boards structure a border of Mediterranean plants, including lavenders, agaves, and small olive trees, adjacent to a dense lawn. The rhythm of the profiles showcases the landscaping composition.

The entire set forms a continuous line, without visual interruption, where every detail – the squareness of the spans, the regularity of the play, the finishing of the profiles – contributes to a clean and professional reading. The slatted effect provides a sense of lightness while maintaining privacy, and the double-sided design ensures a neat appearance on both the garden side and the neighboring side. The performance of the Redcinha® composite – low expansion, rot-resistance, UV treatment – secures the expected aesthetic and mechanical durability in an urban site exposed to climate variations.
